    Wave Master Pro not Working?? (Pics)

    Unfortunately I think its flushed. I just removed one of these from my system and all you had to do was plug in the unit, then plug the power heads into the back of the unit (two side notes: One, just make sure your phs are actually working and plug them into an outlet and make sure they are...

    Nuked my tank. Need help please.

    Went to LFS and bought some water. Did a 50% change and have more salt brewing at home to do another 50% change tonight. Removed my chaeto as I was worried it might have absorbed toxins. Removed my phosban stuff from my reactor and filled it with carbon. Will change out the carbon everyday for...

    Nuked my tank. Need help please.

    Not from the pet section, from the fabric section. I picked up the wrong bag, was suspose to get polyester thread poly-fil and I got and used polyurethane foam poly-fil. I started testing water but after the first two tests (ammonia, nitrite) came back at tier 3 readings I just started doing the...

    Nuked my tank. Need help please.

    wal-mart. I'm not sure if that was the cause but I put it in the day before all this happened. Could be alot of things i guess. How much water can I change out without making the problem worse? Going to get some more carbon running in there, you think that will help?

    Nuked my tank. Need help please.

    I made a huge mistake and now my tank is in the process of nuking. I went to get a poly-fil pad and got the wrong one. I got a foam pad made of polyurethane. Next day I had four missing fish, a rose nem shriveled up to a golf ball size, torch coral half melted and an aggitated leather. Last...

    airline rip off

    They seem to keep forgetting about that 2nd phone call. Maybe they just hope you'll get so mad you'll go away and leave it be. Seems they don't care that much about repeat business.

    Coraline anyone? I can't seem to get any :)

    Flow and calcium (if I'm not mistaken) are the major things needed for coraline. You say calcium level is perfect, but what exactly is perfect? What type of gph is your tank running with what kind of phs? Side note:..I really hope that anchor is plastic...

    Newbie just starting up - need advice

    I'm no pro but I have that same skimmer and it does a fine job for me. Only down side is that the return pump only likes to be submerged by 1-2", not a huge deal but it took me a minute to figure that out. Also, I know you don't want to drill but I would highly recommend a sump set up. You can...

    Starting my 125g-Could use fish suggestions. (caution-pic heavy)

    You can kind of see the tops in the pic with the rocks. I just made them but haven't notched them out yet for the circulation pump cords so the two on the ends don't sit flat. I use screen frame from homedepot and order 1/4" clear plastic mesh for the screens. I use them on all three tanks to...
